Senator Nye once went to the White
House with a party of his New York
friends who wished to have clergyman
appointed chaplain in the army. Mr.
Lincoln told them that he had at one
time determined to make the appoint
ment, but strong protest against it had
been received stating that the clergyman
was not decorous in his department, and
he had determined to hear more about
him. Il will admit" said Senator Nye,
'that our friend is endowed with a
glorious fund of irrepressible good humor,
but l have heard, Mr. President. of an
old pioneer minister in your state of
Illinois who was arraigned before a
county conference to he reprimanded by
the bishop for his sallies of wit from the
pulpit. Before the Episcopal dignity
could settle itself for an impressive utter
ance the old man burst out: Brethren
l never did believe in a religion that had
no fun in it,. The bishops gun was
spiked, and the conference, amid roars
of laughter, at once passed the old min
ister's character.
THAT is a good story, Nye," said Mr.
Lincoln. Let me tell you one about
Peter Cartwright, who, On one occasion,
was CONFUSING his conference with wit
and humor. The presiding bishop was a
man of earnest but ascetic piety. Brother
Cartwright, said he, do you think that
while you are indulging in this levity
you are growing in grace?' The old
pioneer preacher, with a countenance
beaming with fun, replied, oh, yes,
brother, in spots. l guess, Nye, l will
have your man appointed, but tell him to
keep his stories until he can come to
Washington and let me hear them first. -

Scenery of the Danube.

If any one has taken the river route to
Buda-Pesth under the delusion that he is
to see fine scenery he Is quickly disabused.
The finest scenery of the Danube is above
Vienna. between the capital and Linz,
and also farther up, as far as Passau.
Along this part of its course there is a
constant succession of villages with cas-
ties, hills crowned with ruins. abbevs in
picturesque localities and landscapes of
great beauty and variety. 1t is in this
respect one of the most noted parts of
Austria, which has greater variety of
landscape beauty than any other country
of Europe.
Below Buda-Pesth the views are fine
and bold. The shores are more abrupt
and there are splendid reaches of the river,
which receives large tributaries and be-
comes more majestic. For some distance
below Vienna the levees are numerous
though not continuous. The land near
the banks is low and the hills beyond them
the gentlest undulations. The towns that
are passed from time to time do little tC
enhance the interest as respects their ap.
pearance, though all of them had then
little affairs with the Turks 300 or 40C
years ago. In fact. every square mill Of
ground along either bank. soon aftel leav-
ing Vienna, is historic. -Buda- Pesth Cor

The Modern NIedusa.

In one of the better class of tenement
houses woman, polisher in a jewelry
mandatory, said the other day:
I'm wiling to work hard, l don t
care how hard; but it's awful to me to
see my little boy and the way he goes on.
He's a cash boy at DIS, and they
don't pay by the week, they pay by
checks, so every cash boy is on the keen
jump after a call. They're so worried
and anxious and afraid they won't get
enough and Johnny cries and says: oh,
mamma, | do try, but there's one boy
that always gets ahead of me- l think
it's an awful system even if it does make
them smart.
An awful system, yet in its ranks
march more and more thousands every
year. 1t would seem as if every force in
modern civilization bent toward this one
end of money getting, and the child of
days and the old man of years alike
shared the passion and ran the same mad
race. 1t is the passion itself that has out
grown all bounds and that faces us to-
day-the modern Medusa, on which he
who looks has no more heart of flesh and
blood but forever heart of stone. insensi-

Curiosities That Are Well Worth a Para

States 14,1G0 newspapers and periodicals
of all classes. The net gain of the wear

periodicals. There are about 1900
periodicals of all sorts. which, according
to the estimates of the editor of The
Directory. enjoy a circulation of more
than 5000 copies each. The increase in
the weekly rural press, which comprises
about two-thirds of the whole list has
been most marked in states like Kansas
and Nebraska. where the gain has been
respectively "a and 1s per cent Kansas
also shows the greatest gain in daily news
papers. The weekly press is gaining in
Massachusetts, while the magazines and
other monthly publications are losing
ground there. The tendency of such
publications toward New York CITY, as
the literary center of the country. is
shown by the establishment here of not
less than twenty-three monthly periodicals
during the year.
Some of the curiosities of newspaper
statistics are worth a paragraph There
are 700 religious and UNCONVENTIONAL
newspapers published in the United
States. and nearly one-third of them are
published in New York. Philadelphia,
Boston and Chicago New York is far
ahead in this respect but Chicago leads
Boston. Three newspapers are devoted
to the slkworm. 6 to the honey bee and
not less than 30 to poultry. The dentists
have Is journals, the photographers 0
and the deaf, dumb and blind have 49,.
There are 3 publications exclusively de-
voted to philatelv and l to the terp-
| sichorean art. The Prohibitionists haze
1919 organs to the liquor dealers 8. The
woman suffragists have :. the candy
makers 3; gastronomy is represented
by 3 newspapers, gas bye There are about
600 newspapers printed in German and
AZ in French. The towns which have the
most French periodicals are New York,
New Orleans and Worcester. Mass 4

than French. Two daily newspapers are
printed in the Bohemian tongue. The
toughest names are found among the
Polish, Finnish and Welsh press; for in

Utica, of n. Y. and The Yyhdyswalta in

Vegetables of the Ocean.

Every one knows that the sea has larger
animals than can be found on land; but
with the enormous sequoias of California
in mind, many may be surprised to learn
of vegetable grow,hs in the ocean vastly
exceeding in length, though not in bulk,
these giants of the forest. Recently the
ship Clever, commanded by Capt. John
Stone, arrived at Montevideo with por-
ton of seaweed which had been picked
up in the Atlantic near the equator. The
sailors perceived an object floating on the
surface some distance from the ship. and,
manning boat, they rowed to it, and
ascertained that it was an alga of enor-
nous size. On measuring it, it was
found to have length upward of 1900
feet.-Swiss Cross.

A DOGS sELF-SACRlFlCE.
How a Vcnturesome Lad Was Saved
from the Jaws of shark.

A southern paper prints the following
moving story of sublime solf-sacrifice by
dog-a Cne large Newfoundland. A
camping party on the coast of Georgia,
near Savannah, had been amusing them
selves by swimming in the bay, and
venturesome lad named Charlie Butler
had swan much farther, and staid
longer than the rest. The writer, who
was the owner of the dog. dressed him
self, and was busy at the camp ground
preparing supper when he heard an
alarm.
A sudden cutlery told me something
was going wrong on the shore. Grab
bling a rifle and fastening back, with
Carlo at my heels, beheld Butler some
distance away swimming with all his
might, and only few yards behind him
the vertical fin of huge shark. There
seemed no possibility that the boy s
lie could be saved; we were without
boats. and fish and man were so nearly
in line from us that l did not dare to fire
In second Black Carlo, comprehending
the situation, dashed through the surf.
and started to swim toward Charlie with
a speed | have never seen equaled by any
land animal. The boy, having leisurely
covered most of the distance between the
reef and the shore when the man eater
started after him. was comparatively
fresh. and, when he saw the noble dog
fastening to his help, made a final des-
perate effort to escape. In another in
slant Carlo was close to him.
Just then. however, the shark, having
come near enough, turned so that we
could see his white belly glistening in the
twilight. and was all ready for the spring
that would surely have ended Charlie S
life, when Carlo, leaping clean over But
ler's form. appeared to go straight into
the monsters mouth; and the latter hav.
ing got his supper, disappeared in decI
water, while the lad in few seconds was
safe on the Shore That night our Joy
over our comrades rescue was mingled
with sorrow for the life so gallantly sac
rificed in his behalf, and to this day the
memory of that thrilling scene fills me
with sadness for the loss of Black Carlo
